Figure 02, I have this same series Premier and have enjoyed playing them. I got mine at a really great price off of EBAY- I was going to use it as a back up or practice kit and I liked it so much that it's all I use now. I sold my other kit. I have thought about selling my DW 9000s and going with the Iron Cobras like you have. I played the strap drive version of the ICs and loved the way they felt.

here are my premier royale's.
from somewhere between 81"-89" (im not sure exactly)
they sound great!
rock sizes.
any info on this kit would be very helpful to me
(ignore cymbals, old pictures)
sorry for not using an upload service. the one i use is currently down.

So here's one of mine :-) Well ..... it's actually 2 kits. These are Limited Edition Union Jack Wrap Artist Maples from the late 90's.
I sold 1 of them but have since picked up the newer "Birch" version form 2006 with the Genista style lugs ..... pretty sweet, you can see a photo of it on Mike Dolbears site from the 2006 NAMM show.

Thanks!!! The Artist Maple Series was probably one of the most under rated kits out there which is unfortunate. The guy I sold 1 of the UJ kits to, who lives in Canada, has done nothing but RAVE about how the Toms sound & how easy they are to tune.
It's really nice to see that there are still people out there who appreciate Premier despite the way they are (or should I say .... are not) running their business these days, especially when it comes to setting up a new U.S. Distributor ....... such a shame!!! There has been, & continues to be, much frustration here in the U.S. that they don't seem to care about the customers over here who remain loyal to them .... though how long will that last?
